Shoe Shopping on Broadway

Ok, it's official. I can say I've been on Broadway ;)

Fountain at Central Park

Hershey's Chocolate World

GIANT Chocolate bar. Hand added for scale. 

Gaaaah, to think there was a time I would have eaten all that... >.<

M&M World, NY

Elvis the M&M

Carrying bag for my shoes

Menkes Theatrical Shoe store. Smaller than I expected, but very genuine :)

They had just been in ABQ for the flamenco festival...

MY NEW SHOES!

Suede.

Leather.

Comfort.

Craftsmanship.

They're so beautiful.

Too beautiful -- I don't think I can dance in them! 

</shoe fetish>

In other exciting news, I saw live fireflies for the first time EVER! I actually stopped to record them and would share my half minute of anti-climactic blackness if I thought anyone would watch. Might not have seemed like it, but there was a lot of intensity for those 30 seconds-- me, holding the camera, holding my breath, willing them with every inch of willpower to light up. "c'mon, fireflies.... c'mon!!...."  

For about 15 seconds, I felt like a 6 year old on Christmas morning. :) 

After shoe shopping, my day consisted of wandering around Broadway near 50th Street. I met with Bethany, Mary, and Greg for dinner + networking discussion group at Olieng Thai, then Greg and I walked to Central Park in hope of catching the "Indecision in the Park" Comedy Central show. It was packed and we could only listen in over the gates, but we saw Nathan (fellow hacker schooler) there and chatted the whole subway ride home.

Occasionally, I think there's something wrong with me. Who gives up the chance to see something like the Colbert Report for a day like mine. Could have seen live Colbert, and I chose live fireflies?? 

Yeah, yeah, yeah.... 

I can feel the judgement already. But sometimes I just know what I want.

And he's on television anyway, amiright??? 

Whatever.
